Conquest - Spires: Lineage Highborne

In Game Role
Battlefield Role: Character
Class: Medium

Lineage Highborn unlock Avatara troops for a Spire Army. Given that Spires lack armor penetration, one of the main tools the Avatara provide, each Spire player is going to want to include at lease one of these powerful fighters in their Army. The 75mm scale and fantastic detail also makes this model very appealing to collectors and dedicated painters.

Lore

Among the highest echelons of the Lineages, none are truly expected to risk their lives anymore, much less for something as simple and trivial as combat. The chosen warriors of the Sovereign’s Lineages stride through the battlefield safely projecting their consciousness into their Avatara: outlandish creations bedecked in all sorts of ornament and Biomantic enhancements, whose lithe, androgynous frames bely the speed and power they can bring to bear. With almost no personal risk and minimal skill needed to become a deadly foe, many scions of the Lineages have taken to decorating their Avatara as ostentatiously as possible, for the body-vessels have made them such proficient killers that a tally of the slain foes is simply no longer a practical method by which to distinguish oneself. To date, only those Lineages directly descended from the Sovereign have displayed the capability to deploy Avatara surrogates. If any among the Directorate or the minor Lineages possess the capability, they keep it well hidden for they know the Sovereign will stop at nothing to ensure their destruction, as he already did when the surrogates were first displayed.
